A Cook's Tour

Inspired by the question, "What would be the perfect meal?" Anthony Bourdain set out on a quest for the holy grail of culinary gratification. The adventures and misadventures of North America's favourite chef as he travelled the world in search of the ultimate meal are chronicled in his irresistible new book.
A delightful combination of travel and food writing, A Cook's Tour takes the reader to such places as a Phnom Penh gun club where AK47s are served up to the unwary. In Japan, Bourdain samples fugu, the most poisonous fish in the world. The European leg of the pilgrimage includes France, where he relives his first taste of oyster, and Portugal, where a whole village has fattened a pig for a special banquet in his honour.
Bourdain's culinary odyssey has been televised on the Food Network. He has also appeared on Oprah.
